Difficulties with instrumental activities of daily living, and as the dementia progresses; will

Behavioral and Psychological symptoms of dementia

-psychosis

These may manifest during early stage dementia and worsen during subsequent stages.

Physical activity may


Improve cognitive thinking, physical fitness, and mood BUT it is not curative for dementia
and probably does not slow its progression.
